Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 208,111, datedSeptember 17, 1878 applicaticn filed v May 17, 1878.

v To all idiom it may come/ m:

Be it known that I, JAMES MILLEN, of Stapleton, in the county ofRichmond and State of New York, have invented an Improvement inFruit-Jellies, of which the following is a specification: p v Driedfruits have been used in the manufacture of jelly, the same beingsoaked'or boiled in-water and pressed, In that case the result is ajelly from the dried fruit alone.

My improvement relates-to a jelly'in which the body of the jelly is thepulp of dried currants, and the same is flavored; with the juice ofgreen or ripe fruit, which at'th'ejsame time allows the jelly to be ofthe proper consist ence.

I employ apples, pears, or other fruits, in

their natural condition, and extract the juice a from the same either bygrinding and press-' ..-ing or by boiling, steaming, or pressing, or

tered, and theliq'uid is concentrated by evaporation to the condition ofa jelly, or sugar.

may be added in the usual manner; and the jelly, when properlyconcentrated, is placed in suitable jars or vessels to hold the same.am'aware that. jelly has been made from the juices of dried and greenfruits of the same kind,andreferenee is made to Letters Patent 156,876for such a jelly. i

In myfjelly the dried currants furnish the body, and the jelly requiresless evaporation or concentration in the manufacture than heretofore,and it is not liable to injury by atmospheric changes, and the saiddried currants act to sweeten the jelly and lessen the amount of sugarrequired.

I claim-as my invention- The Jjelly herein specified, composed of thepulp v.of dried currants and the juice of other fruits, substantially asset forth. V

Signed 1878.
